StatsGuru Filters for Bob Appleyard


Profile:

An off-spinner who bowled at close to medium pace, Appleyard had a deceptive dipping flight, and great accuracy. With immaculate length, he was devasting on a wet wicket, and economical on batsman's pitches. Not making his first class debut until the age of 27, he took nearly as many wickets as he scored runs. Possibly the high point of his Test career was the 1954-5 tour of Australia and NZ where he, not only headed the bowling averages, but also contributed to a match winning 10th wicket partnership. Plagued by poor health throughout his career and missing most of the 1952 and 1953 seasons he retired after only 7 years at the top level (Dave Liverman, 1998).
